Sean didn't want to leave the room. He wanted to accompany Eli while she played the game. He wanted to kiss her and never let her go. Eli tried hard to push him away but to no avail. Hence, she frowned and pinched his waist. Sean let go of her because he was afraid of being tickled. "I'm still playing. I'm going to lose if you keep doing this," Eli complained. "So what if you lost? It's not as though you haven't lost before. I'm going out for dinner later and I won't be back so soon. Don't wait up for me. Just go to bed when you feel sleepy. Take care of yourself when you're at home," Sean said reluctantly as he didn't want to leave. Sean had become clingy ever since Eli came back even though he was never an overly-attached man. "Don't worry about me. Ah, dude, could you please get out of the way and return my mouse?" Eli pushed Sean away. Sean looked at Eli coldly and said to her, "Do you believe that I'd bring you along to the dinner? I be
"Mrs. Osborne likes listening to opera, right? I have another surprise for you," Sean changed the subject. He clapped his hand and an opera song started playing in the background. At this moment, an opera actor entered the room. Meanwhile, Natasha was still in the pool. She really wanted to get out of the pool because she had been inside for three hours. However, she couldn't. She was freezing, and her whole body was numb. When Sean went to the washroom, Yvonne decided to follow him and ask him, "Sean, did Natasha make another mistake again?" Sean smiled and replied, "There are some things that she is hiding from you. For example, when we were watching the performance by the lake earlier, she texted Eli and told her that I had fallen into the lake and needed her to come over immediately. What would Mr. and Mrs. Osborne think of us if they were to see Eli there? All our efforts would be in vain then. You know clearly that the project is very important to me." "Wh
"Sean, what are you doing? I'm still playing. It's the critical moment because there were only ten players left in the game," Eli complained as she pushed him away. "I'll help you with the game. Go and take a shower." Sean commanded her. "No, I don't want to. I'll do it myself." "I'll go take a shower first then. It will be your turn after that," Sean said to her. "Alright, you can go now," Eli was trying to stop Sean from bothering her. Sean got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. Eli quickly turned back to her game. She was still playing the game. after he was done showering and drying his hair, "It's your turn now." "Hold on, there are six people left in the game. Our opponents had also formed a team and they seem to be stronger than us. I can't handle it. If I lose now, I'll be very upset because I've wasted so much time on it," Eli said anxiously as she focused on the match. "Go and take a shower now and I'll help y
She quickly stepped back then changed the subject and said, "I'm hungry." Sean looked at her dotingly and said, "I know. It's because I didn't feed you well yesterday." Eli was speechless. After all, she had her fair share of experiences in life. She knew exactly what Sean meant the moment he said that. "I'm really hungry. I would only have the strength to work once my tummy is filled, right?" Eli smiled and thought of buying herself some time because Sean would be leaving soon to send the Osbornes off. Sean smiled and replied, "Okay, let's have breakfast first then. Do you want to have it downstairs or in the room? By the way, Yvonne's sister is here, have you met her yet?" "I saw her last night, but she didn't see me because I hid," Eli said with a naughty smile, "I'd rather stay in the room and eat. I don't have anything to talk to them about." "You should be prepared because Rebecca will be staying here for a few days," Sean reminde
Natasha looked at Sean with a grievance. She knew that Sean and Eli were a couple, but seeing them kissing brought another feeling in her heart. She had always thought Sean was a pure and sacred man who would not simply give himself to a woman. This was also why she had admired him for such a long time. If she hadn't walked in on them by accident, who knew what they would've been doing by now. Whenever she thought of the possibility of Sean having sexual relations with Eli, she couldn't seem to withhold her jealousy. "Mr. President, didn't you ask someone to send your breakfast to your room?" Natasha said indignantly, as though she was provoking them. "Don't you know how to knock on the door? Get out. You shouldn't be doing this," Sean ordered coldly. Natasha turned around quickly. She became angrier the more she thought about it. She spat in each of the dishes before placing the plates onto the table. Eli popped her head out of the bl
Sean comforted Eli, but her voice was still trembling and her eyes were red. Eli had a strange feeling in her heart. She looked at Sean and said, "I think that I got really lucky. The snakes didn't hurt me while I was playing the game, because they already went under my blanket by the time I noticed them." "I bet the person wanted to make it look as though you died in an accident. I don't believe that there would be snakes in the President's Mansion, especially venomous ones," Sean said firmly. Eli was still feeling scared when she thought about it. She just realized that she was shivering because she was wearing only a thin layer of clothes. Sean was too worried about her before this to realize it. When he finally noticed that Eli was feeling cold, he took off his windbreaker and put it on her. After that, he said to her, "Let's get in the car, it's warmer in there. I don't want you to get sick." Eli grabbed his sleeve and said, "I don't want to go
"Do you really have to do this? You are not an irrational person. If Natasha dies, not only will it affect the Harington family, but you would be affected as well. You do know that you are not in a very stable position right now, don't you? Yvonne said incredulously. "If the Griswell family wants to turn against me, I will surely make them disappear in M Country within a year," Sean smiled and said to Yvonne, unfazed. Yvonne lowered her head and kept quiet. Eli didn't want Sean to jeopardize his future because of herself, because it would leave her feeling bad for the rest of her life. "I have an idea," she suddenly voiced out. "What?" Yvonne looked at Eli with hope. "If Natasha was really the culprit, she must have thought that she wouldn't get any punishment because of her family background. I couldn't possibly allow her to stay so arrogant. I love my life so much, I don't feel like dying yet," Eli said. Yvonne didn't expect that Eli would say th
"Stop spouting nonsense, Natasha. I wasn't neglected by the President at all because of Eli. Besides, Eli has saved us from a disaster yesterday because she had rescued the Prime Minister. How could you do this to her?" Yvonne finally voiced out. "Madam, don't deny the fact anymore. When I sent breakfast to the President's room this morning, I saw..." Yvonne gave Natasha a slap before she could finish her sentence. "Nonsense. How could you have gone to the President's room if I was taking care of your fever this morning? Natasha Griswell, what are you trying to say?" Yvonne was enraged, and her hand was still shaking. Natasha covered her face in confusion. She had never expected that Yvonne would slap her. She looked at Yvonne, then lowered her head and murmured, "I did it for the President and the Madam, so I don't think that I have done anything wrong." "Sean, Natasha is my maid. She has made a huge mistake. Could you please hand her over to me so I could te
